Fix it with a CAD patch on live for your detail. Or do CAD detail from view and your wish is your command.

A solid would be quick and easy. I always use CAD detail from view so as to be able to cleanly snap the lines where needed, then cut and paste it into live to make the solid.

@Chrisb222,thank you!

Very common door but I don't see it in Chief. See pic.

I've an upstairs room that is half over a porch and the porch needs a lower ceiling than the adjacent inside room on floor one. Do I need to divide the upstairs room so as to have a ceiling below with the air gap layer I need to lower the ceiling? I already divided the porch deck into that which is under the floor of the room above and that which has only roof over.

Thank you, sir!

I see it here in this Chief training video.

I want to do a bumped version of a completed plan, in a new file of course, let's call it PLAN BUMPED ONE FOOT. The PLAN is in project management, the project titled PLAN, and the project contains the .plan and .layout files. I thought the method was to use EXPORT and export the PLAN project and the exported thing could be renamed, but that doesn't seem to be working for me. Walk me through this, please.

Two pics attached. I want each side to have its railing die into the wall, meaning that the stair widens one side at a different tread than the other. I also want the newels moved enough out, out meaning away from the bottom riser and tread nose, so that both tread and riser resolve into the newels. Steve from Chief Skills has a six-year-old video up on YouTube and he hacks it by pasting on short 3" and 2" wide stairs at the bottom runout. But that was a few Xs ago. This need of mine has gotta be a common one. How do you address it in X17. South Park Charleston.7z

Here is a view of the corrupt corner from outside. Here is the plan view of the corner, and the attic wall (the front porch gable end) is highlighted. And here is the spec dialog for the attic wall. I have fiddled with the wall join tool without success.

Used to be so simple, right? I want to make a "Post to Chieftalk" plan, one stripped of all except structure, then zip (or not) and attach here, to get some help. Walk me through doing some kind of "save as" to get my plan out of PM, for stripping and posting. Thanks.

I am trying to do a workout on a production-built plan that has a few modest changes, and the workout is to get all the framing modeled, to assess feasibility. It's a challenge. We've no idea how this roof frames, but it's very likely a hybrid arrangement of some stick framing and trusses, so I've tried that. If you open the plan file to see where things sit right now, you can see that in plan view upper right, that trusses won't generate, and I cannot figure out why. This is my first time attempting a plan attachment from the X17 project managment setup, and I've exported a .caproj file, the export producing a zipped file, and in the project only the plan file is included. See if this works. https:/https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jLUT19Oimyq1wHD7Srtfdy6YSSiaU3q4/view?usp=drive_ In the screencap attached here, I have aimed the camera at the part of the roof that won't frame with trusses, assuredly so because I have not done room def properly, but I am stuck, so here it is.

Hey! Thanks for the look @Renerabbitt. I feel honored that the CA king of cabinets entered the room. I put my open-center door on the cab as a door panel, but did not try putting it on as a hinged door. Doing it as a hinged door gives me the shelves I need, but how do I get rid of the opening indicator in the 2D elevation?

See the pic. The cabinet at center of this vanity run has a drawer at top and under is an opening with two shelves. I want to dress the opening with a 1.25" frame surround, to bring the face out flush to the surrounding fronts. You can see the door object I made for this in the side panel. How is this done?

I'm in X17 using project management. I'd not had cab labels level turned on when sending my wall and section elevations to tje layout page, but now do. My two bath elevations display labels but no number of refreshes will work for the kitchen which has two wall elevations and two backclipped section views. i click the layout view, the view opens, labels all displaying, go back to laout, no labels, refresh, still no labels.
